At the Hurrain Dukedom. Haru was at her Father and Mother's office 
Her Father has a long white hair and a white beard he has pale complexion
a little scrawny but healthy.  He has Light orange colored eyes he is 
Duke Claude Hurrain. Haru's Father then beside her is a woman who has 
Similar looks to Haru but older probably around her forties Her name
Is Har Hurran" Haru" Her father calls out to her and she looks at him in the eyes
" Yes father?"  Haru responded " What do you think of the princesses of the Priafire
 queendom?" Claude asked his daughter " They may be Sisters but they have 
Different mindsets and beliefs " Haru replied " Oh? how different?" Claude asked 
With curiosity " Princess Kaohu is indeed a standard at being a royal, values 
Elegance and Etiquette she believes at her royal lineage that are set for her the 
Moment she was born she does everything to be a proper monarch someday" 
Haru tells her thoughts about her fiancee " While Princess Kouha.. She 
Doesn't care about elegance and etiquette nor follows the way of royalty 
Despite the one being the most talented a prodigal daughter. she's already 
valued freedom and doesn't hesitates to follow and pursue her desires 
She believed that able to choose to decide and to move freely is the best way 
of life one could have " She gives her thoughts about princess Kouha 



her father nods his head while caressing his beard " To tell you the truth
Haru you are supposed to be betrothed to princess Kouha " This 
Shocked Haru upon hearing this " But her Ignorance and disinterest towards her 
Rights upon her mother's throne earned her the Ire of the nobles of their 
Queendom and of our Dukedom. which earned her the name of Heretic 
Princess " Haru gasped " Heretic princess.. " That kind of negative calling made
Haru having second thoughts  " Since Princess Kaohu is willing to accept her 
Rights. Lord Horan and I instead agreed to Betrothed you to Princess Kaohu "
Claude briefs to his Daughter  " Your father and i doesn't hold any negativity 
Against Princess Kouha. after all she reminds us how Lord Horan used to be"
Har states their honest opinion? Eh? Her Majesty is like Princess kouha?" 
Haru responded in shock both of her father and mother giggled then nod 
Their head " Lord Horan really loves flowers and she used to spend her days
on Floral Gardening  and that was before she was the Hero " Har explained to 
Her daughter. this made Haru admire the queen of the Priafire Queendom from inside
" Why not you go visit princess Kouha this time. i am sure you'd learn something 
From her after she's really a brilliant child " Har smiled at Haru while suggesting that



Two hours later.  The Carriage Arrive infront the gates of the royal palace. the 
Guards Bows at Haru as she descends from her carriage. then opens the gates for her 
then she walks towards the entrance and knocks on the door then Erasia opens 
The door  " Duchess Hurrain "  Erasia bows before haru " Hello Erasia  its been 
Months since we  last saw each other. is Princess Kouha around?" Haru asked 
" You're here for princess Kouha but not princess Kaohu?" Erasia was confused
And Haru Nods " Princess Kou is probably at her craft room i shall lead you there
Lady Haru " Erasia urges haru to follow and the other did so " Eh craft room?" 
Haru was not sure but she do heard about crafts " Its the room where the princess
Does and kept her crafts " Erasia responded. there she led haru to one of the
Rooms with a door that use a sliding motion system.  Erasia knocks on the door 
" Princess. its me Erasia  Duchess Hurrain wishes to visit you " Erasia says as she 
Steps back from the door. then Kouha opens the door causing them to open sideways
This shocked haru of how amazing that was. " Ah duchess Hurrain its a honor to be
Visited you please do come in. i hope you don't mind how rowdy my place is " 
Kouha invites her in. the moment Haru steps into the room she was astonished in 
Amazement upon seeing Kouha's Crafts since not only they are excellent in 
Appeal  also their functions are seemingly looks amazing for the eyes to see 



A Digital clock, an automatic water heater,  a heater with cold sensor 
a temperature stabilizing tea cups and many more " princess you made all 
of these...? " Haru was lost of words  " yeah i did innovated them and Erasia
Gives me a hand on her free time sometimes " Kouha replied " How do 
They do function?" Haru was curious " I wired them with attribute stone " 
" Wired them? Attribution?"  Haru got lost somewhere in her explanation. 
Kouha noticed it too and chuckled " Here take this for example " she grabs 
The temperature stabilizing tea cup then she points at the butt of the tea cup 
Haru listens and observes attentively " Below here is a Shaped and molded 
Attribute stone. the effect of this attribute stone is stability attribute and 
you can write a command on the stone with a function you intended it to be"
Then she flips the cup and points at the runes written on below of the cup
" It says here temperature. " Haru reads  " correct. but even with the runes 
Written  there the attribute stone wont simply function on their own. that's 
Where the wiring comes from. through the use of Ether circuits " She explained
" Ether Circuits? " Haru wonders  " They are the drawn runes at the side of this 
Cup " Kouha pointed at the both of sides of cup and haru nods "  but i thought
Rune drawing is not possible without Attria's dust  "  Haru stated  " Ah that 
kind of rune drawing costs alot of fortune not worth it. what i had used is a 
Synthesized Attricite "  Synthesized and attricite" Haru was again confused 



" Attricite is a type of soft ore that spawns indefinitely inside the Attric Mines
They are ores with good conductivity of ether. which means ether flows on them 
Without any resistance. Synthesis is a process of breaking down of materials 
And mold them into something new.  in this case i molded the attricite into 
a liquid then i used it to draw the ether circuits from the top of the cup down
To the bottom where the attribute stone is located "  Kouha explains and Haru
Was amazed by her intellect and brilliance " then after that i painted them with 
permanent dyes that are water proof and oxidization and erosion resistant " 
she briefed " Once you pour your hot tea in here and hold the cup. the ether circuits 
Detects your Ether and it will power up the attribute stone along with the command
Written. then it will stabilized the warm temperature of the tea or coffee that 
You poured in. that way you don't have to worry about you tea getting luke warm
or getting cold " She explained " As for the attribute stones. these stones are 
made by me. using the ether absorptive stones called Altrite then Attribute essences 
That are collected by the adventurer's guild by slaying monsters through monster 
Slaying quests " Kouha finished explaining to haru about her crafts  " Amazing... 
No... you are simply incredible... " Haru was astonishingly amazed by her 
Innovative mind that she feel like she can praise Kouha everyday  



" By the way you are not here for my crafts right. what brings you to me?" 
Kouha finally asked of haru's main purpose  " Mother says that i should visit 
You to learn something from you.. but i think i already did learned alot by 
Just stepping into this room " Haru smiled at her  "  What Lady Har probably 
Meant is to learn something that is necessary for you to become a queen consort
Good Timing About to go the commoners town " Kouha invites her to accompany
her  " But i thought royals and nobles uses the Royal square to do the market 
And such  "  Haru replied " Haru if you want to become a great  queen consort 
you must learn how  a nation operates outside of privileged status. the nation itself
Doesn't revolves around Royal Etiquettes and cultures alone. same goes to the world
outside of our nations "  Kouha responded to her with facts. and haru couldn't argue 
With her logic then they went to the commoner's town to take a stroll and they 
Started with market Kouha was greeted  by the townsfolk. haru for the first time  learned
That Kouha is well loved and respected by the commoners of the Priafire Queendom 
then Kouha picks up an apple from a stall " When picking up a fruit to know 
its fresh inside or rotten. first you must see if their peel is glistening or not 
Second is to smell them a fresh fruit smell "  Haru listens to her attentively 
" Next is how to determine whether if the vegetable is rotten or not " 
She picks up a cabbage  " one is their color. fresh veggies looks greener and 
rotten looks brownish second is texture.  the fresh ones looks juicy 
or smooth in surface. the rotten one is dried.  third is you must look out
of the holes. since those are holes done by a worm "  Haru nods at her 
Explanation. then Kouha proceeds to buy the fruit and vegetable she touched 



then both of them proceeds  to the area where meat and fishes were sold 
" Alright to identify what is a fresh meat. you must keenly look at it and if 
The meat is pinkish and looks soft and tender. that's a fresh meat  
as for the fish to identify if the fish is freshly reeled the first thing that you Must
Observe is to see if their scales are glistening. second to observe is if their 
Eyes are not bloodshotted. a fish with bloodshotted eyes indicates of how 
Long the fish has been a dead and preserved with ice " Kouha explains and 
Haru nods her and makes sure that she memorizes everything that Kouha  
Explained to her " When buying meat related purchases. size and mass 
Matters the bigger and the heavier the costlier " She added and haru notes it 
Within her mind then they proceeds to the equipment district she pointed 
Her finger at the blacksmith  " There's a blacksmith is where the weapons 
And armors are made " Haru nodded then she move her finger towards 
The Trinket shop  " There's the Trinket shop  where stuffs like potions, 
Wards, healing herbs, and all sort of materials were sold  "  then she 
Moves her finger at the Necessity shop " Here's the necessity shop
It's where the everyday use are sold,  clothes, utensils, dining wares
Soaps, shampoos, towels, and many more.  are sold in here "  She briefed 
And Haru puts it on her mind everything that was explained to her 



Then Kouha takes Haru to the rural areas the workers saw her and waved 
At her then Kouha waves back at them.  " here's the farm its the place 
That my family appreciates alot its the place where we get all of our 
Food  and food supplies "  Haru nodded at her in agreement 
" Right there " She points her finger at the large plantation field 
" Its the plantation where its divided into three portions which is 
Fruits, vegetables and Rice "  She briefed and haru nodded  " then 
What about there what is that "  Haru pointed at the barn " ah that's
The barn where the cows and sheeps are being kept and cared  that 
Open field over there its called Ranch its where the cows and sheeps are
Released to mass feed and also to be exposed to sunlight so that the 
Animals stays healthy " Then she moved her finger at the pig pen " That 
one is a pig pen there's a reason why pigs are separated from the rest 
its because pigs are dirty animals they to smother themselves with mud 
and they love dirt  " Kouha's explanation about pigs made haru chuckled 
Kouha scratches her cheeks with her index finger " Then what about that 
one princess?"  Haru pointed at the chicken coop " ah that one is a chicken coop
Its where the chickens are raised and cared  just like the barn but only for the 
Chickens.  Farmers would come to check the coop every 2-3 days to collect 
The eggs  " Kouha finished explaining and haru memorized all of it 

Then as they head back to the town Kouha discussed to her about the 
Other professions. Like Fishermen and Slaughterers of the meatshop 
Then Seamstress for the furniture covers and clothing she also explained
The upholsterers a type of profession whose work is to make furnitures 
Haru nods at every explanations she dishes out. taking a mental note 
And memorization at every single one of it. noticing that haru indeed 
Stick around listening to her lectures she decided to treat haru to a 
Sweet delicacies then both sat down in a bench to take a break 
" Princess Kou " Haru calls out " Hmm? " Kouha responded lightly 
" About those crafts you made what are you planning to do with them ?"
She asked " Ah those. i am planning to sell them once i mass produced
Them " Kouha responded to her question " Selling them?"  She looked 
At Kouha " Yeah i gonna use the money i earned from my crafts and build 
A Large Crafting Company so that everyone in the slum can work in there
Also repairing and rebuilding their houses while i am at it " Kouha replied  



This made haru widened her eyes in surprise then she looks at her  
Crepe " This person genuinely cares for others. she has valued 
Freedom yet has a strong sense of kindness.  she also has a innovated
Mind that desires to create ways for people and create things for them to 
use and to walk forth. if anything else " Then a image of her imagination 
Crosses her mind an adult kouha priafire sitting on a throne with a crown 
on her head " She's indeed the one befitting to be a queen " Haru thought
To herself. many hours later. it was dusk and its the time that haru has to go 
Home since the sun is slowly setting down  " Princess You are a Attribute 
Science Artisan right? " Haru asked  " Yup that's right " Kouha confirms it  
" Have you ever thought of an a producer name if you indeed one day 
Became a a successful and well-renowned artisan?"  Haru asked then kouha 
Crosse her arms and thinks " Nope i haven't yet  " She added  " Then how 
About this.  Freym Pia " Haru gives her a producer name  " Freym is 
Flame and Pia means fire.  Mhm i loved it ill be sure to use that name someday" 
Kouha accepted Haru's suggestion whole heartedly then haru giggled and
She enter her carriage. as the carriage leaves both she and kouha waved at each other
